Enterprises and R&D institutions developing nanotechnologies

Due to tiny units of composition, nanoscale materials have a larger surface area to volume ratio, making them more robust and capable of penetrating into cells, making them superior in high electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity than bulk materials even though the material type is the same. New research and development are underway for a wide range of applications, including energy storage devices, fuel cells, and the medical field.

New developments continue in the studies on nanotechnology and material science, such as the synthesis of various nanoscale materials, nanostructure control technologies, and nanodevice development. New studies and applications through combinations with AI or quantum dot computers are also in the spotlight.  

This report highlights the following areas that are considered to be of interest:  Nanoelectronic materials (NEMs), nanophotonic materials, nanomagnetic materials, nanoceramics, nanometals, polymeric nanomaterials, nanocarbon materials, and nanobiomaterials.
